Schooling the Lawyers – Extending A Visitor Visa

The process of applying for an extension to a visitor visa in Hong Kong is explained, emphasizing that the Immigration Department assesses the reasons for the extension request and the visitor’s bona fide status. Strategic thinking about the stay duration and providing a departure date after the extension is advised. The “Shenzhen shuffle” is mentioned as a non-recommended practice for long-term stays, which can lead to limited landing conditions and potential stay breaches.
